Mental Health

WHP recognizes that many of our patients struggle with depression, anxiety, or other mental health issues that are often made worse by a new HIV diagnosis.

We provide therapy and psychiatric services onsite for all patients in the clinic. These services include therapy, psychiatric medication management, and a focus on recovering from PTSD. As a result, most of our patients successfully overcome their mental health challenges and are able to enjoy their health and their lives. Treatment of addiction is also integrated into the physical and mental health care services at WHP through our weekly clinical case conferences with all providers present.
